Do painters need a license in Pennsylvania?

Do you tip a painting contractor?

Tipping is not required nor expected, but is certainly appreciated if the client feels so inclined. Its entirely up to you if you wanna add an extra $100 onto the final check. If you plan on needing him again for more work, its definitely a way to ensure youll get your call returned.

How do painters estimate job costs?

Some contractors use a rough base rate of $1.50 or $2.00 per square foot, some multiply 4 to 6 times the paint cost, some estimate the time the job will take and add it to an estimate of materialsand some may simply offer the lowest price to outbid the competition.

Do you pay before or after work is done?

You pay for materials up front, after being provided a written estimate including the cost of said materials. Then a small percentage of labor is ok up front, 10-15%. Then, depending on how long the job lasts and the scope, partial payments for completion of specific aspects may be in order.

Do you pay painting contractors during the work?

Ask about the payment schedule. A good contractor wont ask for everything upfront. Most will take a deposit first, then a midway payment, and finally, the remaining balance when the job is done.
